Emax 2 and Sound Designer/Alchemy Help Requested

2004-11-30 by John

Hello all, hope your holiday was great.

My Holiday was great and punctuated with happiness since my new EMAX 
arrived!

I just purchased an EMAX II with 2mb, keyboard.  It does not have an 
internal hard drive so I'm purchasing a SCSI ZIP drive for it.  I 
have an EMAX II 4mb rack with a hard drive installed.  Is it possible 
to hook up the two samplers via a cable and tranfer my favorite 
samples from one machine to the other via SCSI or the RS ports?  
Maybe I'm missing something simple but a floppy transfer would put me 
in a coma!

I've looked through the files section and found the software editors 
I need for my Mac SE/HD.  Now, perhaps another silly question, but 
how do I get them from the files section onto a floppy and into my 
MAC SE?  I'm using a Windows XP machine as I speak.  It will not do 
anything with an old 720k floppy without trying to format it.  Will 
my old lil mac recognize a XP/PC formatted diskette with the .sit 
file on it?

I'm considering building a DOS machine from an old Pentium II box I 
have in order to run the EMX software which I have yet to figure out 
completely.  Would I be on the right track investing time in such?

I'm soooooo close to a dream setup I can taste the tunes pooring 
forth.  ANY help in the attainment of my dream setup would be 
rewarded with the highest appreciation, praise and thanks!

Regards to all!

H E L P !  I'm on the edge of delight!
